British Transport Police, Piracy and Terrorism Billboard

A controversial billboard in London from the British Transport Police claims that monitoring internet history for film piracy can prevent bombings. The ad suggests that pirating films funds organized crime and terrorism, a link the hosts find illogical. Additionally, recent counter-terrorism arrests in Birmingham are described as "pre-crime" actions based on suspected "instigation" rather than concrete acts.

First Amendment Nut, Filming Police, Lionel Rant

WPIX in New York features a segment called "The First Amendment Nut" starring legal commentator Lionel. The segment covers a First Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in the Simon Glick case, which affirmed the right of citizens to film police officers in public. While the information is legally significant, the hosts argue that the "nut" branding is a way for mainstream media to trivialize and marginalize constitutional rights.
